24 In 24: Last Chef Standing

Premieres April 14, 2024

Food Network is breaking new ground in the intense culinary competition genre with a series that features 24 chefs taking on 24 food challenges in, you guessed it, 24 consecutive hours.

Hosted by Food Network stars and iconic chefs Michael Symon and Esther Choi, “24 in 24: Last Chef Standing” is described as the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable channel’s “most ambitious and grueling culinary competition to date.”

Per the series description, “the 24-hour competition takes the chefs to the extreme, demanding they display the skills, creativity and stamina needed to be an elite chef. At the end of the 24 hours, there can be only one true master left standing.”

The winner - “the chef who cooked the best, for the longest and outlasted the competition” - will be determined by judges Eric Adjepong, Maneet Chauhan, Scott Conant, Stephanie Izard, Jet Tila, Bryan and Michael Voltaggio, and Brooke Williamson. The victor’s prize is $50,000 and the “trip of a lifetime.”

I am watching, but it doesn’t hold my attention that well. I usually end up doing something else while it’s on and then pay attention at the end/judging segments.

I will check this out since I have a major crush on Michael Symon. I am a blubbering idiot when I see my husband’s/my three sons’/my mother’s doctor because he looks and acts just like MS.:upside_down_face:

I think this show might be up my alley if it isn’t to frenetically filmed. I HATE THAT!! It is one of the things I dislike about Top Chef.
